Joel 2
1 Sound the trumpet in Sion, make a proclamation in my holy mountain, and let all the inhabitants of the land be confounded: for the day of the Lord is near;
你们要在锡安吹角， 在我圣山吹出大声。 国中的居民都要发颤； 因为耶和华的日子将到， 已经临近。
2 for a day of darkness and gloominess is near, a day of cloud and mist: a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning; there has not been from the beginning one like it, and after it there shall not be again even to the years of many generations.
那日是黑暗、幽冥、 密云、乌黑的日子， 好像晨光铺满山岭。 有一队蝗虫又大又强； 从来没有这样的， 以后直到万代也必没有。
3 Before them is a consuming fire, and behind them is a flame kindled: the land before them is as a paradise of delight, and behind them a desolate plain: and there shall none of them escape.
它们前面如火烧灭， 后面如火焰烧尽。 未到以前，地如伊甸园； 过去以后，成了荒凉的旷野； 没有一样能躲避它们的。
4 Their appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they pursue.
它们的形状如马， 奔跑如马兵。
5 As the sound of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, and as the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble, and as a numerous and strong people setting themselves in array for battle.
在山顶蹦跳的响声如车辆的响声， 又如火焰烧碎秸的响声， 好像强盛的民摆阵预备打仗。
6 Before them shall the people be crushed: every face [shall be] as the blackness of a caldron.
它们一来，众民伤恸， 脸都变色。
7 As warriors shall they run, and as men of war shall they mount on the walls; and each shall move in his [right] path, and they shall not turn aside from their tracks:
它们如勇士奔跑， 像战士爬城； 各都步行，不乱队伍。
8 and not one shall stand aloof from his brother: they shall go on weighed down with their arms, and they fall upon their weapons, yet shall they in no wise be destroyed.
彼此并不拥挤，向前各行其路， 直闯兵器，不偏左右。
9 They shall seize upon the city, and run upon the walls, and go up upon the houses, and enter in through the windows as thieves.
它们蹦上城，蹿上墙， 爬上房屋， 进入窗户如同盗贼。
10 Before them the earth shall be confounded, and the sky shall be shaken: the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
它们一来， 地震天动， 日月昏暗， 星宿无光。
11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his host: for his camp is very great: for the execution of his words is mighty: for the day of the Lord is great, very glorious, and who shall be able to [resist] it?
耶和华在他军旅前发声， 他的队伍甚大； 成就他命的是强盛者。 因为耶和华的日子大而可畏， 谁能当得起呢？
12 Now therefore, saith the Lord your God, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation:
耶和华说：虽然如此， 你们应当禁食、哭泣、悲哀， 一心归向我。
13 and rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy, and repents of evils.
你们要撕裂心肠， 不撕裂衣服。 归向耶和华—你们的 神； 因为他有恩典，有怜悯， 不轻易发怒， 有丰盛的慈爱， 并且后悔不降所说的灾。
14 Who knows if he will return, and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meat-offering and a drink-offering to the Lord your God?
或者他转意后悔，留下余福， 就是留下献给耶和华—你们 神的素祭和奠祭， 也未可知。
15 Sound the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a [solemn] service:
你们要在锡安吹角， 分定禁食的日子， 宣告严肃会。
16 gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the infants at the breast: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
聚集众民，使会众自洁： 招聚老者， 聚集孩童和吃奶的； 使新郎出离洞房， 新妇出离内室。
17 Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say among the heathen, Where is their God?
事奉耶和华的祭司 要在廊子和祭坛中间哭泣，说： 耶和华啊，求你顾惜你的百姓， 不要使你的产业受羞辱， 列邦管辖他们。 为何容列国的人说： “他们的 神在哪里”呢？
18 But the Lord was jealous of his land, and spared his people.
耶和华就为自己的地发热心， 怜恤他的百姓。
19 And the Lord answered and said to his people, Behold, I [will] send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied with them: and I will no longer make you a reproach among the Gentiles.
耶和华应允他的百姓说： 我必赐给你们五谷、新酒，和油， 使你们饱足； 我也不再使你们受列国的羞辱；
20 And I will chase away from you the northern [adversary], and will drive him away into a dry land, and I will sink his face in the former sea, and his back parts in the latter sea, and his ill savour shall come up, and his stink come up, because he has wrought great things.
却要使北方来的军队远离你们， 将他们赶到干旱荒废之地： 前队赶入东海， 后队赶入西海； 因为他们所行的大恶， 臭气上升，腥味腾空。
21 Be of good courage, O land; rejoice and be glad: for the Lord has done great things.
地土啊，不要惧怕； 要欢喜快乐， 因为耶和华行了大事。
22 Be of good courage, ye beasts of the plain, for the plains of the wilderness have budded, for the trees have borne their fruit, the fig tree and the vine have yielded their strength.
田野的走兽啊，不要惧怕； 因为，旷野的草发生， 树木结果， 无花果树、葡萄树也都效力。
23 Rejoice then and be glad, ye children of Sion, in the Lord your God: for he has given you food fully, and he will rain on you the early and the latter rain, as before.
锡安的民哪，你们要快乐， 为耶和华—你们的 神欢喜； 因他赐给你们合宜的秋雨， 为你们降下甘霖， 就是秋雨、春雨，和先前一样。
24 And the floors shall be filled with corn, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
禾场必满了麦子； 酒榨与油榨必有新酒和油盈溢。
25 And I will recompense you for the years which the locust, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, and the cankerworm have eaten, [even] my great army, which I sent against you.
我打发到你们中间的大军队， 就是蝗虫、蝻子、蚂蚱、剪虫， 那些年所吃的，我要补还你们。
26 And ye shall eat abundantly, and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the Lord your God [for the things] which he has wrought wonderfully with you: and my people shall not be ashamed for ever.
你们必多吃而得饱足， 就赞美为你们行奇妙事之耶和华—你们 神的名。 我的百姓必永远不至羞愧。
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and [that] I am the Lord your God, and [that] there is none else beside me; and my people shall no more be ashamed for ever.
你们必知道我是在以色列中间， 又知道我是耶和华—你们的 神； 在我以外并无别神。 我的百姓必永远不致羞愧。
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
以后，我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。 你们的儿女要说预言； 你们的老年人要做异梦， 少年人要见异象。
29 And on my servants and on [my] handmaids in those days will I pour out of my Spirit.
在那些日子， 我要将我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女。
30 And I will shew wonders in heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
“在天上地下，我要显出奇事，有血，有火，有烟柱。
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord come.
日头要变为黑暗，月亮要变为血，这都在耶和华大而可畏的日子未到以前。
32 And it shall come to pass [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion and in Jerusalem shall the saved one be as the Lord has said, and they that have glad tidings preached to them, whom the Lord has called.
到那时候，凡求告耶和华名的就必得救；因为照耶和华所说的，在锡安山，耶路撒冷必有逃脱的人，在剩下的人中必有耶和华所召的。”
